BURY North MP James Frith has confirmed that he will not be backing the proposed Brexit deal.

Prime Minister Theresa May published an open letter on Saturday night, outlining the principles of the deal.

The deal has drawn criticism from a number of sources including Donald Trump, who said it could potentially threaten trading between the UK and USA.

Labour MP James Frith also had his say during a special report into Brexit by BBC Radio Four’s Today programme.

He said: “I won’t be supporting the Prime Minister’s deal because I don’t think she’s done enough to unite the country with the deal.”

Mr Frith, who is a Remainer, last week wrote a blog post on his website claiming he would support a Brexit that works for Bury and Britain.

He wrote: “Whilst I voted Remain I said I would support a Brexit that works for Bury and Britain.

“A bad deal will cost jobs in Bury and that’s not something I will support.

“This is not a deal Bury should sign up to.”
